Quick Wear: The first person to love the host

Chapter 217: The Enemies in the Capital Have a Fall in Love with Each Other 34

After meeting everyone and watching them leave, Su Ziyu called Pei Qingcheng and took out a letter from his arms, "This is a letter written to you by your younger sister Pei Xijun. Please keep it well, Master Pei."

Looking at the heavy envelope, Pei Qingcheng felt a pang in his nose, and bowed, "Thank you, Master Su."

Due to the uncertainties of marching and fighting, he had not contacted his younger sister for a long time. Every time, he only got the four simple words "younger sister is safe" from the secret reports sent from the capital.

He didn't expect that the prince would not only send him food, but also remember to bring a letter home for him. He simply didn't know how to express his gratitude.

Su Ziyu saw him suddenly bowing, and hurriedly supported him, "What are you doing? I was away from the capital for the past two years, and it was thanks to your sister Pei Xijun that she accompanied my mother. If I want to thank you, I have to thank you as my brother."

Seeing the two people arguing from afar, Li Junze walked over immediately after giving his orders to the generals and stood beside Su Ziyu, "Ziyu, are you done talking? I'll take you for a walk nearby."

Pei Qingcheng was very tactful and took the initiative to make an excuse to go check the food and grass.

After he left, Su Ziyu turned his head and glared at Li Junze, "Your Highness, your behavior is too obvious. Are you afraid that Pei Qingcheng won't see it?"

Li Junze said confidently, "I can't help it. You are too charming, Master Su. If I don't watch carefully, I'm afraid someone will seduce me. I will cry to death."

Su Ziyu was a bit amused and confused to see that the prince was so worried about gains and losses. He could only say in a flattering way, "Okay, okay, you said you wanted to take me around. Let's go!"

The two of them slept in the same bed at night, acting out of love but within the bounds of propriety.

The next morning, Su Zi wanted to return.

The two stood on the shore and said goodbye. Su Ziyu looked at Li Junze with reluctance in his eyes, "Your Highness, I wish you a triumphant return. We will meet again in the capital in the future."

"Okay, see you in the capital."

Li Junze looked at him and nodded slowly. Even though he had slept with her in his arms all night yesterday, he was still a little unsatisfied at this moment. He wished he could get rid of the Huns as soon as possible so that he could return to Beijing and have a warm bed with his wife and children.

Li Junze stood on the shore and watched him leave. When he could no longer see the shadow of the huge ship, he turned around and told everyone, "Tell the soldiers to recuperate well in the next two days. In a few days, we will attack the Xiongnu's lair."

-

Half a month later, news of the great victory at the border was reported back to the capital.

In the Golden Palace, the old emperor gritted his teeth and smiled falsely, "Okay, okay, I knew that with the ability of the prince, the Xiongnu would definitely be able to submit to him."

The civil and military officials below echoed, "Your Majesty is wise."

However, after the court session, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was invited to the imperial study, but what he faced was the emperor's wrath. He knelt down immediately without thinking twice and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Lord Zhongyong, you really raised a good son!"

The old emperor was furious. His original plan to temporarily withhold food and suppress the prince was unintentionally thwarted by Su Ziyu. He could only vent his anger on the loyal and brave marquis. He raised his hand and threw the secret report at the person kneeling under the prince, "Take a good look at it yourself!"

Marquis Zhongyong didn't even dare to dodge when he was hit, and he endured the blow head on. Then, hiding his worries, he crawled over to pick up the memorial not far away and read it quickly, reading ten lines at a glance.

After reading it, he immediately kowtowed and said at the top of his lungs, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I have never revealed any court affairs to you!

Besides, my son has been far away in Jiangnan for the past two years, studying the issue of increasing grain production day and night. You know all this. He must have accidentally learned about the shortage of food in the army, and this is why he accidentally messed up the matter. Please be careful!"

The old emperor was very angry, but the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was his sister's husband after all, so he couldn't really do anything to him. He could only vent his anger by driving the man out of the imperial study.

The loyal and brave marquis left in fear. The old emperor turned around and told Eunuch Li, "I remember that someone from the Jinyiwei stayed with Su Ziyu. Send someone to find out what happened."

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Eunuch Li could only respond quickly.

After leaving the palace, he first asked someone to pass a message to the Jinyiwei, and then asked his godson Xiao Qingzi to sort out the letters that Prince Su had sent back in the past two years, in case the emperor wanted to read them in a few days.

-

Su Ziyu received a letter from his father which was sent thousands of miles away. He learned that the emperor was extremely angry because he sent food and fodder to the prince. He told him to stay in Jiangnan and not return to the capital for the time being to avoid triggering public anger.

Su Ziyu did the exact opposite. He deliberately took the sea transportation route and also deliberately arrived at the same time as Li Junze's army was returning victoriously.

Whenever Li Junze's army arrived at a place ahead of them, they would stop and begin to publicize that this giant ship was built for the emperor to demonstrate the country's prestige. At the same time, they would distribute high-yield grain seeds and explain planting techniques in the name of the emperor.

The people had never seen such a huge ship before, and they had received tangible benefits. They were deliberately deceived and brainwashed, and they were all proud to see the big ship and praised the emperor.

So, every time the ship arrived at a port, it would stay there for a few days.

When Li Junze and other troops were about to catch up, they set sail for the next place. The topics of discussion among the people all turned to the giant ships and planting, and they were less concerned about the God of War.

Of course, this is also due to Li Junze's deliberate low-key attitude.

When the Jinyiwei found Li Xi, he was on his way back to the capital and was in a private room of a restaurant in a certain town.

"Commander, His Majesty sent us to ask you something." A group of people descended from the sky and knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

Li Xi, who was called the commander, was sitting by the window at this moment, looking at the busy streets outside and listening to the hawking sounds outside. He looked leisurely, not like the former leader of the Jinyiwei who killed people without blinking an eye.

Being interrupted suddenly, he frowned slightly and took out a thick stack of papers from his chest, "Everything you want to know is here, take it and report back!"

"this..."

Several Jinyiwei looked at each other, they were a little undecided, but when Li Xi glanced at them, they immediately gave in, took the letter and disappeared.

Li Xi didn't move.

He was still looking outside, but his eyes were somewhat free and easy.

As early as the day when Prince Su went out to sea, he finally figured out what the other party was trying to do in the past two years. But it was also because of this that he admired this man for being so patient and for preparing for such a rainy day.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Li, the prince asked me to ask you to go back, saying that the ship will be sailing soon."

Li Xi came back to his senses, stood up, straightened his clothes, and said as he walked out, "Okay, I'll be right there."
